Red Weather was the first solo project from the lead guitarist of Blue Cheer. Originally released on the Phillips/Mercury label in 1969, the album immediately became a favorite on the underground music scene and established Stevens as a solo act. The music on Red Weather was dramatically different than that of Blue Cheer, with a well structured psychedelic sound like Quicksilver or the Grateful Dead rather than the sledgehammer hard rock sound of his former band. Recorded in England at the Trident Studios with the help of Nicky Hopkins on keyboards, drummer Mick Waller from the Jeff Beck Group, and Kevin Westlake from Blossom Toes, the album was hailed as a masterpiece by many British rock fans but was equally dismissed by Blue Cheer fans. The album contained eight songs that highlighted Stevens songwriting ability rather than his guitar prowess. After nearly 30 years the album was rereleased complete with the original psychedelic artwork cover.

I strictly grade my records, I examine them under a bright light so that no one will be disappointed.

Please ask all ???'s before bidding.

GRADING SCALE

Mint (M): The record , cover and all inserts are in absolutely perfect condition. If there is even one flaw, such as the cover photo being crooked, the record is M- or Near Mint at best. We do not use this grade, even for sealed/new records.

Mint - (M-): The highest grade we use, as we believe there are no such things as “Mint” records. Full vinyl gloss. Label not faded. No signs of wear on disc or cover.

Excellent ++ (EX++): Not quite M-, may have literally one or two very minor flaws; ONE light paper scuff; small writing on label and/or cover; dinged corner; etc.

Excellent + (EX+): Slightly better than EX. Has a few very minor flaws.

Excellent (EX): Better than average. Has a few minor flaws, very minor label wear. Very little or no lessening of sound quality. The cover may have slight wear or creasing.

Excellent - (EX-): A bit better than average. Light scuffing, a few very light scratches (“needle scuffs”); little deterioration in sound. The cover may have a small seam split. Ring wear and/or seam wear may be more prominent

Very Good ++ (VG++): Not quite EX-; slight scuffing and possibly some graying in the grooves. No major deterioration in sound quality.

Very Good + (VG+): Only slightly better than average condition; the record has obviously been played. Light scuffs and some light scratches (“needle scuffs”) are visible. Only slight deterioration/distortion in sound.

Very Good (VG): Average condition. Used but not abused. Scratches and hiss can be heard upon playback. Normal wear and tear on cover will be present in the way of split seams/spine or moderate to heavy ring wear. Generally worth 50% of Mint condition value.

Very Good - (VG-): Just slightly less than average, still a good record to play. Has numerous scratches and scuffs; a few “clicks” or “pops” and hiss will be heard upon playback. This is usually the lowest grade we use on eBay.

Good + (G+): Good plus is just slightly better than Good. Sound quality is noticeably deteriorated.
